A new episode (premiering tonight) on PBS, so I hope to update my understanding:
New 2/11/2026 | Season 53 Episode 4
Science & Technology, Documentary
Uncover the ancient origins of mammals, a story that began long before the dinosaurs’ reign, with a look at how the therapsids survived global catastrophes.
Ah, dicynodonts. Nothing in biology makes sense except in light of Lystrosaurus.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If you’re going to hang out in the Late Permian, you really have to mind your dicyno-dos and dicyno-don’ts.
(And never get into a poker game with a bunch of early synapsids. They’re a bunch of pelycosaur losers.)
